A simple and lightweight Discord bot to verify new server members using randomly generated codes.
Built using discord.py.

• Guides users to verify themselves via Direct Message (DM).
• Generates a random 6-character code for verification.
• Times out verification codes after 5 minutes.
• Grants a "Verified" role upon successful verification.
• Deletes public verification attempts for user privacy.
